Meet Kalina Nikolova

For almost 30 years, I have led strategy and operations at large companies — Yahoo, Viacom, Match Group, Deloitte, Zenith Media. My career has been built on navigating complex growth and forcing the hard trade-offs at pivotal business moments.

Now I bring that same Fortune 500-grade strategic and operational clarity to independent businesses — delivering unbreakable focus in a fraction of the time.

What makes this possible is the incredible power of generative AI. It is the ultimate amplifier — allowing a single, highly experienced advisor to deliver the horsepower of an entire consulting team. I use this technology as my invisible engine to synthesize your data, accelerate our work, and help you lock your strategic focus incredibly fast.

I also write. On my Substack, I dig into the business applications of AI — the new competitive moats in the AI age, who really owns the decisions AI touches, how information moves (and breaks) inside an organization, and what stays distinctly human as the tools get sharper. It's practitioner writing, I hope you find it useful. Subscribe to Humans + AI Lab.
